Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm telling you right away
I'll be saying for many a day
I'm in love with you now
I'm telling you now
I'll say what you want to hear
I'll be saying for many a year
Do you think I'm foolin'
When I say I love you?
I love you
Maybe you'll believe me
When I'm finally through, through, through, through
I'm telling you now
I know it's been said before
Say you love me, and I will be sure
I'm in love with you now
I'm telling you now
I'm telling you right away
I'll be saying for many a day
I'm in love with you now
Do you think I'm foolin'
When I say I love you?

I know it's been said before
Say you love me, and I will be sure

@@yesyes... No...no 'Thanks' are due to me
*The history of 'Pop' in England is well-documented by the people who lived it all at the time, and all of them say the same things independent
of each other*
( The 'Stones' are an excellent example of how fast everything began changing in the '60-'63 era )
Early days had the 'Rollin' Stones' playing covers of 'blues hits' that weren't very well-known in England and many thought "That's some good tunes from that lot!" not realizing they were all American 'Blues Standards' with a few added 'licks' from Brian and 'Keef'
Virtually every band played 'Covers' because no one dared to make any songs of their own for fear 'the kids won't like it' or 'it won't sell because no one's heard it before'
Lennon said "Well, we've got a contract now so we'll have to do some tunes of our own or we'll just get lost in the shuffle with everyone else"
So he and 'Macca' just put their heads together (literally) in the bath of Paul's home and worked-out some tunes they liked, played their way, and from then on after "Love Me Do" it was 'off to the races' because that forced everyone else to 'do our own stuff'
In 1962 everything began to change in a matter of weeks!
'Skiffle' was out... and 'straight instrumental' bands were left scratching their collective heads wondering 'What's happened?'

Had the pleasure of meeting Freddie at a charity do once. He was surprisingly down to earth, and VERY funny.
@danielotoole7713
Yeah the old mic pretending to be an electric razor gag is hilarious.
@johnpolitis9060
The same when he was Freddie Mercury of Queen.
@figmo397
The "very funny" part doesn't surprise me at all. The "down to earth" part seems about right; he genuinely looked like he was having a good time up there.
